Reviews for The Art of Philosophy: Wisdom as a Practice
A very provocative, historically penetrating, and paradigm-changing analysis of both modern and postmodern thought, which may be considered one of Peter Sloterdijk's most brilliant contributions to date to what has come to be called 'public philosophy.' This translation is vigorous and engaging and captures in different contexts the ramifications and rhetorical force of Sloterdijk's original German.
